But I bought it from Bear Familiy , but now I see it's an Be! jazz release and Micha Gottschalk is credited as the producer of the box. And I was sure it was from Bear Family... Thanks for pointing that out.

This applies exactly to the Jutta Hipp box, which is marvelous. It has a very heavy coffeetable book with text in German and English, that's very, very good. With memries from Hipp and wartime stories. And even some of her drawings and paintings.

I love to hear Hall behind Brookmeyer or the other way round (even with Brookmeyer on piano). And The street swingers is the pick in the lot included here. At least to me.

Yeah, I agree with this. I'm also not very interested in the Woody Herman, but I have aquired many sets from them and some of them this year.

Thank you. I know you looked for the LP, but thought the CD might give some insightful information. Yesterday looking for it I came across a CD I recently looked up on Amazon with the intention of buying it up. Timeless Billy Eckstine on Savoy, which I "discovered" listening to Fats Navarro from the same series. I have wanted to know more about Eckstine for some time and didn't remember I had it still factory sealed from a long time ago.

I have the reissue you mention, but due to a home move five months ago I can't find it. I know exactly where it was in the old house, but it's not in the corresponding place in the new flat. I'll let you know as soon as I find it. Maybe it's still not unpacked.

Both volumes of Blue Lights on two CDs on the Doubletime series.

That one I read a while ago and I liked it very much.

Only 40 mins long but with a fantastic Tommy Turrentine and the Horace Parlan trio.

I became aware of Horace Tapscott through this.

I agree with that.

A very good overview of the Central Avenue era, out of which West Coast Jazz grew.

And now: One of the crowns of my collection. With Baker sometimes.

Another of those wonderful 90s reissues, Mostly Cuscuna led.

As do I. I still think the nineties were a golden age for reissues. Still have all those orange-black mid-nineties Impulses. And the RVG series started at the end of that decade.

A very nice set for the trio (Norvo, Farlow and Mingus), and the midforties session with Parker/Gillespie, Teddy Wilson, Slam Stewart and Flip Phillips.

And enjoying it a lot!

I went to see the The Seventh Seal today at a filmoteque here. Though the program said it was from 56 and now I see on IMDB that it's from 1957.
